I was watching the local news on NBC 10 in Philadelphia, starting at 4 pm EST on 3/18/15. They did a piece on dead beat parents being rounded up for not paying their child support the night before. They said "the luck of the Irish ran out for them at midnight", and I believe that is verbatim. If not it's very close. I wrote them and complained, and called them on the phone. I wrote the NBC news headquarters also. If you or any of your loved ones are Irish, you should be insulted. Stop watching them, or write them and let them know how you feel. Below is my written complaint.
I was just watching your program. Whomever wrote the piece about the dead beat parents being rounded up last night, and saying 'The luck of the Irish ran out last night at Midnight' or very close to that should be fired. What are you trying to say? Were the people rounded up for being dead beat parents of Irish heritage? If not, what the hell would prompt your person to even write something like that? I guess because the other ethnic groups are pretty sensitive about them or any likeness of them being used out of context, you'll just pick on some other group who are otherwise quiet. I don't like the inference at all, and after I hit the send key, I'm going to post this on site jabber so anyone else who heard it, or didn't can know how unfair and insensitive your writers are to what is part of a large viewing audience. I started watching your channels news not long ago as a break from channel 6. I just changed the channel. You Stink!
